However, the poor conductivity and the stack of active sites of bulk MoS2 hinder its application. Herein, a new facile solid-state synthesis strategy was developed to fabricate MoS2 nanorods by one-step pyrolysis of molybdenum-organic framework (Mo-MOF) in the presence of thiourea. The obtained MoS2 keeps the Mo-MOF nanorod structure with more active sites, while the residual carbon left in the nanorod enhances the conductivity. The as-prepared MoS2 nanorods exhibit superior stability and excellent activity towards HER with a small onset potential of 96 mV and a low Tafel slope of 93 mV decade^-1.展开更多
